Felicity

My face starts to flush as soon as I get out of my car and walk toward the arena. Oh my God, what the hell did I do last night? Making out with Nolan Duggan was inappropriate, out-of-character, the last thing I ever thought I would do and…felt incredible. The way he pawed at me, the way his tongue just decided it owned my mouth, the feel of his hands sliding up the inside of my thigh and his rock hard cock rubbing up against me.

“It’s like the North Pole out here so why do you look like you have a sunburn?” Xavier asks me as he appears from the other side of what must be his Range Rover and falls into step beside me.

I stare at the pavement in front of my heels and try not to turn even more red. It’s not really working. Ugh. “I’m just thinking about what a klutz I was falling over the other day.”

I lift my still bandaged wrist. I’m supposed to go see the trainer today and he’ll give it another once-over before I remove the tensor bandage completely. Xavier’s dark blue eyes look skeptical. He lifts one of his thick, dark brows. “Funny, I thought maybe the flush was excitement at your next Secret Santa gift you’re giving. Maybe fill his locker with candy canes or cover him in tinsel this time?”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I say calmly and pause as Xavier reaches for the door and holds it open for me.

“Look, I think the whole team has figured it out by now, probably even Nolan,” Xavier replies and gives me a wink and a calming smile because I guess he can tell my blood pressure is spiking at being outed. “No one else gets under his skin as good as you do. Been that way since you started here, and we love it. But I gotta let you know, his issues aren’t all invalid when it comes to avoiding the holidays.”

“He won’t get into specifics with me,” I explain as we walk down the hall to the elevator. “And I know he’s my secret Santa too, and he’s doing his worst so it’s only fair I do mine.”

Xavier’s eyes flare at that. “He’s your Secret Santa?”

I nod and explain my oh-so crappy gifts so far. He’s doubling over as we enter the elevator, and I have to hit the button for both of us. His laugh bounces off all the walls as the doors close and we descend. “Cucumber of the month? How did he know that was even a thing?”

“He’s a smart cookie,” I smile despite myself. Then I think of how his mouth felt all dominant and needy against my own and I start to flush again. Xavier, also a smart cookie, notices.

His smile turns heavier and more inquisitive. “This is more than just a Secret Santa Face-Off isn’t it?”

“Of course not,” I say airily. Too airily. My voice is too high and my shoulders shrug too quickly and now Xavier is really curious.
